I just got back on Sertraline after trying to wean off of it for a year. I felt guilt taking medication and even my sister said if I was sure I wanted to take it. But my mom who has diabetes said, would you shame someone with diabetes for taking medication? It’s okay to need extra help. You’re not alone!

I’m in the exact same boat! I was on Effexor for a year but I’m also more holistic and I was ashamed to give into meds. Now I’ve been off of it for a couple of weeks and ashamed to think I may have to go back to it because I also feel like I don’t want to be on it forever

Don’t be ashamed. I’ve been on OCD/anti depression meds most of my life. I be sure I have a full prescription every month because it helps with my intrusive thoughts. I was around 9 when I started on the meds. Now I’m almost 44. No doubt I will be on these meds til the day GOD takes me away from this life

If they help without side effects then absolutely keep taking them. If you feel you need to wean off them then talk to your doctor on how to do it properly and incorporate magnesium/VitD/GABA + a methylated multivitamin into your daily routine you’ll do your body and mind a favor

Medication
So I have been diagnosed with GAD and OCD and my psychiatrist prescribed me with zoloft 🤔 but I dont know im really hesitant to start medication because im scared of the side effects and ik afraid of relying on a medication for a long time. Does anyone else take zoloft? What is it like? Any side effects?

Medication
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?

Long term sertraline users(3 years or longer), how
…(for those who came off of it)how long did it take for you to feel normal again/when did ur anxiety level out after tapering off the meds after being on it for awhile? I’m in month two and still feeling very anxious, is this just how it’s gonna be now that I’m not on meds? I didn’t wanna rely on them cuz I was gaining weight and it lowered my libido but it was helping me so this sucks. I can’t eat much and diarrhea like am I just gonna be like this forever now that I’m not on meds?
